A View From Western Maryland

Cumberland In The Valley

This is a scene of Cumberland as viewed from the Constitution Park area. The cut in the mountain is known as the Narrows where Wills Creek flows through. If it seems as if the city is divided by trees, that is where Wills Creek flows through town and the part on the left is knows as the West Side.The West Side is where the original Fort Cumberland once stood on a bluff overlooking both Wills Creek and the Potomac River at a point where they both come together. On that site now stands the Allegany Co. Court House and an Episcopal Church.This photo was taken with a little Panasonic 3.2 MP P&S camera; settings unknown.As I've mentioned many times before there is a lot of history in my neck of the woods and, yes, George really did sleep here; we have his log cabin :-) Anyway, just wanted to give you a different view of my part of the world and I hope you enjoy the view.Yeah, this is my world and you are welcome to it.

The Reason for Riff's Photography Journal

The purpose of this journal is to show that you can find something of interest to photograph even if you don't leave your own yard.

There are photographic opportunities everywhere you look and they are there just waiting for you to find them. The only requirement is that you have to be looking for those opportunities or you will never see them.

Photography is for anyone who wants to capture images for any reason, and if you cannot have fun with photography then why do it.

So, come along. Enjoy the journey and have fun with your camera. Photograph your world the way that you see it and create those images that you will keep for ever. I know that I do.
